5.0 out of 5 stars Damn!, May 15, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Right As Rain (Audio CD)

Damn this album is good! Definately worth of 5 stars. More given today's music scene. This album and Tommy Castro as an artist give me new hope that music, rock in perticular, is not dead, but a healthy breathing animal. 'Right As Rain' has got to be one of the best blues or blues/rock albums I've heard since Indigenous, Mark Selby or B.B. King. I found him right away on the internet and ran right out to buy the album. Can't wait to get ahold of his other stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars With Castro, the future of blues is lookin' cool..., March 19, 2001

The thing that drew me to this CD was the name of the record label...Blind Pig Records. Finding this funny and cute (which isn't the right word but I can't think of a better one right now), I bought Right as Rain. I opened it in the car and inserted it into the CD player.

Tommy sure likes them horns, which is a nice touch to the music. (The backup singers are also very cool.) Castro has a nice voice, it isn't all over the place and out of pitch like some other blues guitar/singers. Another thing I like about this album is the straight beats. This guy sure isn't afraid to wail on a straight blues beat, and they make you tap your foot, there's no stopping it.

Of course, the real talent on this record is Castro's guitar playing. He reminds me of SRV in more ways then one, but nonetheless he still has a great style of playing.

This CD is well derserving of my rare 5 star rating. Well done, Tommy!

Wow! Only recently was I turned on to Tommy Castro, and my life is better for it! Grittier and more soulful than Cray, but very rocking, Tommy has perfected the Memphis blues sound. Great vocals, plenty of horns and a dash of Sam and Dave. If you're unsure of the blues, this CD is extremely accessible, yet represents the finest of the genre. I may never take this disc out of my car!
